Saltmarsh vegetation.
I decided to briefly explore around the backyard (in case i didn’t have enough observations from Cleburne to break 1k self-observations for the UNT SER Spring 2024 semester project) when I found this fella!
I didn’t realize until I was reviewing my photos that it has a bunch of mites on its underside.
found walking around on a hardwood log at the edge of a suburban park in Queens. hardwood forest with lots of dead wood in immediate vicinity. norway maples, red oaks
